I ordered Mega-rich with my Cult of Cherry order for now. I already have Mauvement but I will be picking up every single other one next week! Yay!! These are just unbelievably beautiful! I keep staring at the swatches.

I want all those, too, but I'm only going to start with those first three since these will be available in the Pro Stores (and I'll keep my eyes peeled for Mega-Rich at CCOs).

I was just about to make a post asking why they are indicated as LE on the PRO site. I thought most were going to be perm????
Well since Erine said that Vintage Gold is almost exactly like Copperized I think I will skip that one as well as Mega Rich. I'm soooo excited!!!

I wish that were true, but unfortunately, MAC is not so altruistic. They tried to tell me that when I was furious to find my CLEAR SKY BLUE only half full. It is listed on the site as 7.5g but it is NOT.
It is only 2.5G- AND IT SAYS THAT ON THE LABEL/BOX!!!!
That means that they reduced volume AND WEIGHT by more than half.
In this case of Overrich, I have seen it said that the weight has been reduced that is why they are not as full- it says so on the box/label. In other words, to put it bluntly, it appears that MAC is now giving a little more than half of the pigment that they used to sell for the same price.
It is one of my pet peeves with this company- they do not list these things correctly on their site which is misrepresentation of product.
I still love a lot of what they put out, but sometimes their business practices are frustrating to the consumer.

I've always felt that there was too much product, for my use, and would have liked a smaller option to purchase - but not at the same price as a full size! 2.5 grams is only 1/3 of the original product, so logically, it should be no more than half the price, according to any pricing I've ever seen. I think this is a crappy tactic, and it was used with the Neo Sci Fi eyeshadows, earlier this year, as well.
In fact, since the site is listing these at 7.5 grams, and if it's true they're only 2.5 grams (which I haven't personally checked), I would complain to whatever agency would be responsible for oversight of business practices. A class action lawsuit has already been won once against Estee Lauder. Are they looking for round two?
I'll be going to the Pro Store tomorrow, and you can bet that I'll know the standard weights, and be checking on this practice. It may be the impetus I needed to explore some other brands. For instance, Stila, from whom I've bought a few shadows, and found them to be much more generously proportioned. Also, I hear that Shu is back in Holt Renfrew's, and I've always wanted to check that brand out. Their fall duos look great.
I'll be really sad not to buy my Blonde's Gold, though, I really wanted that one.

The overrich ones were not as small weight as the mattes- they were I think .4something G, if I remember correctly.
But the mattes- Clear Sky Blue being among them- have been 2.5g since they came out. I remember getting so upset at first and contacting MAC and they were acting like *I* was nuts! Finally when they went and checked, they were offering some quick excuse which did not pan out at all, and then changed the subject.
I tried and tried to get them to fix it but no one was interested.
I was expecting 7.5g because that is how it is listed. 2.5g is WAY SMALLER.
I can not remember which others are only 2.5g, but I do know for sure that Clear Sky Blue is one of them.
The thing is that these were designed for PRO use only which means quantity for client use, so they had a lot in them.
To change the quantities like that is a rip off for the PRO customers because many MUartists mix their own colors and this greatly cuts down their resources but not investment.
Like I said, some of MAC's practices leave a lot to be desired.
